025

It's 3:30, and I can't sleep. Or more accurately, I tossed around feeling troubled for half an hour, then got up and gave up. Some say it's not wise to go to sleep angry or frustrated, so I thought I'd get up first, calm down a bit, and go back and try again. I met Claire online by chance and we just finished Skyping, though I was talking in whispers most of the time... thankfully & hopefully I didn't wake up my roommates in the process, in which case I would be extremely sorry.

Talking to her made me feel much better, because hearing the familiar voice of a friend I have known since second grade is the best consolation I can have. Thank you for listening to me vent about something so trivial and comforting me to help me calm down, it means so much ♥ Keeping in touch with my high school friends is hard, but when we do contact and chat and reconnect, I feel so happy!

Ah, I have class in about six hours. Since I'm feeling better, I think it's time to go to bed and try again. Thank you again, Claire! I miss you.
